1. To create texture, apply mousse from scalp to ends and blow-dry. Then, alternate subsections, starting from the front, with a flat iron and the Sam Villa Textr Iron and you’re ready to STITCH!

Get Braided // Step 2: Braid and Backcomb

2. When parting the hair, take a profile section on both sides of the head—like a Mohawk—starting from the recession and work down into the nape area. Make sure the part is very neat and clean. That way, you won’t grab hair from the other section when braiding.

3. To braid, add hair only from the top, pulling the braid down and low towards the ear. Make sure the braid isn’t too tight; if it’s too tight, the needle or elastic won’t glide through as easily. Work down the side of the head until you get all the hair into the braid. Secure with a hair tie. Repeat Step 3 on the other side.

4. Backcomb the top section of hair, starting at the front and working your way back.

5. Use hairspray to control fly aways and provide texture and separation. Make sure the top silhouette is finished before you move onto the next step.
